I got this tea posy from my best friend - she knows I love tea. It comes with different flowers that will bloom when you pour the boiling water into the teapot. I just tried "Let It Snow" and it turned into a very pretty flower; chrysanthemum, coconut fruit fiber, silver needle white tea. Although is was pretty, I didn't like the taste at all - kinda like soap. :( I poured it out and spooned in my favorite english breakfast tea. Maybe the calendula next time?

I saw those in a couple different catalogs. Sorry to hear it didn't taste good... It sure looks cool! I was wondering if we couldn't figure out a way to do this?? Hope you enjoy the calendula!

I've had one of those "tea flowers" in a wine goblet once at a fancy asian restuarant. The flower was fushia and boy did it make a pretty statement! The tea was some type of green and it was delicious.
